My Luck is on the Second Chance Chapter 2, a gakuen alice fanfic

An Avalanche

Mikan Sakura was staring at nothing through the window of their classroom. It was math period and she wasn't listening. She looked at the empty seat beside her and managed to smile as she imagined the image of her boyfriend sleeping while a manga was covering his face.

Few weeks later since the fire casters birthday and confession—the two started to go out and the relationship was going perfect. At least not until a week before New Year that he started not to show up—not even a shadow.

It's been nights since she couldn't sleep—she was used that Natsume was always beside her sleeping. And she loved his scent. But last night, when she can't hold her insomnia anymore, she went outside and went to his room. She took a shirt from his closet and lied down his bed. She hugged the shirt and fell asleep.

Since when do you come around?
And the temperature's changed, nothing's the same
Left me, in yesterday;
You don't see me that way, touch me that way, no more..
When'd you get so cold, I'm not sure just
how much longer I can hold..

You got me standing at the bottom of
this mountain that we've made
(mountain that we've made)
And the ground is shaking from all of our
mistakes (all of our mistakes)
But there's no one, nothing but us is in our way
it's a matter of time, we can rewind

If you only knew,
What my heart goes through for you
I'm tryna break through,
don't you think it's worth the chance?
Let's leave the past, is that too much to ask?
And where do we stand? (Where do we stand?)

Mikan sighed as she heard the sound of the bell. The girls looked at her and pitied her. Her boyfriend in weeks old isn't showing up—and it's making her insane. "Well—I think Natsume-sama left her because she was annoying like hell." Sumire said. "Shut up Sumire—I might use your own alice against you." Mikan said as she warned her that she will use her stealing against the perm. Sumire froze and went away. "Mikan chill. I'm sure that Natsume is just somewhere—I think." Anna comforted.

"But it's no fair—it's New Year soon and I'm all alone." Mikan said.

"Oh come on. I'm sure Hyuuga has a very good reason or else it will be his last New Year." Hotaru said as she polish her baka-gun.

Mikan just dived into the deep hole of silence as they went into the canteen of the school. The others went to buy for their food while Mikan just sat in the space provided for her. Then she stared at the path going to their table. She imagined someone special approaching her ever since they became lovers.

Can we pull through this avalanche?
(avalanche, avalanche, oh, this
avalanche, avalanche, avalanche)
Can we pull through this avalanche?
(avalanche, avalanche, yeah, this
avalanche, avalanche, avalanche, ooooh)

We see what's up ahead
Why do we stay?
Watching us fading
Trapped in by regret
there's no way out, and there's no way in, no
And it's so cold, I'm not sure just
how much longer I can hold

You got me standing at the bottom of
this mountain that we've made
(mountain that we've made)
And the ground is shakin', from all of our
mistakes (all of our mistakes)
But there's no one, nothing but us is in our way
it's a matter of time, we can rewind

Mikan and her friends were chatting like crazy when a gang of boys approached them. Then each boy sat beside each girl. "Oh it's you again." Anna said to her-so-called-fan. "Come on Anna-sama just answer a big yes to me." The guy replied. "If our boyfriends ever find you here—you're a goner." Nonoko warned. "Oh boo. Why, does Mikan-sama have a boyfriend already? Who? And I'll beat the shit out of him." The guy beside Mikan said.

"Say that to his face when he comes." Hotaru said with a smirk. "I'm sure that whoever Mikan-sama's boyfriends is—he's a bag full of shit and—" The guy wasn't able to finish his words when Mikan suddenly stood up. The gang and the boys followed her with their eyes. Then Mikan, approached the gang of boys who were also approaching their table. Mikan hugged the raven guy and whispered 'Hey beau, there's a guy in there who wants to be my boyfriend. Do you want to say something to him?' Natsume raised a brow and looked at the guy who was chatting with the other girls.

Natsume, Mikan and the other guys approached the table. "I'm sure that when Mikan-sama see how I beat her boyfriend up she will break up with him and chose me instead." The guy said, unaware of the death threat behind him.

The gang looked at Natsume and back at the boasting kid. "Why don't you say that on my face?" Natsume said. The guy looked at him and dropped his jaw.

"Na—Natsume Hyuuga?" The pronounced. "Yeah?" The raven replied. "You're—You're Mikan-sama's boyfriend?" He asked.

"Isn't that obvious?" The gang said in unison followed by a cute chuckle from Mikan.

If you only knew,
What my heart goes through for you
I'm tryna break through,
don't you think it's worth the chance?
Let's leave the past,
Is that too much to ask?
And where do we stand? (Where do we stand?)

"Mikan, who will be your partner for tonight's New Year ball?" Anna asked as she put the gold earring on her left ear. Mikan, who was still in the comfort room, said "Um—nobody asked me."

The three girls, namely Hotaru, Anna and Nonoko looked at each other. "What do you mean?" Nonoko asked. "Well, most of boys here already know about me and Natsume so maybe they're afraid to die young." She said as she went out of the comfort room, wearing her dress that made the girls say "So pretty."

Mikan was wearing a white halter dress that ends a little above her knees. A gold belt hugged her body below her chest. Her hair was still in a mess and she was barefoot but she can recognize as an angel already. Anna and Nonoko styled her hair in curls and tied them on her left side with a gold sakura pin and also gave her gold chandeliers. Hotaru then took the gold open-toe pumps from Mikan's closet and gave it to the brunette. "You're beautiful Mikan-chan." Nonoko commented. Mikan just smiled to her but she was still thinking of her perverted boyfriend.

"I wonder who will win the Ms. and Mr. Popular. I heard they will light the first firework on midnight." Anna said. "Yeah—it's quite thrilling."

"Um, Hotaru—this pumps are quite loose." Mikan whined. "Don't whine—that's my birthday present for you—so wear it."

The bond is breaking and it's taking over
my spirit (quickly, quickly)
Something's shifted, have we drifted too far apart now?

In the ballroom, students of different grades gathered—all in their best dress just to celebrate the New Year. All were laughing and enjoying well, except for a certain nullifier though. She was sulking in one corner with her godly beauty which awed many men. But these men were afraid to approach her—and blame it on the fire caster. Beside the brunette was a mountain of gifts—both from her admirers, fans and friends and both for the New Year and for her birthday.

Mikan was about to drink her juice when the room went dark. Narumi, their homeroom teacher went up the stage in his best white tux.

"Lads and Ladies—I know that all of you are expecting to be called to be at least one of the Popular Pair. But the judges already choose two people—and I tell you the judges had a hard time choosing." Narumi said in front. "Now. The first name I shall call is Ms. Popular." Narumi said as drum roll was heard all over the place. "Mikan Sakura."

Mikan looked at Hotaru who just shrugged "It's obvious."

Mikan just walked to the stage with a little fake smile pasted on her pink lips. "Now, where is Natsume Hyuuga? He's partner is already here." Narumi asked at Yuu. Okay, Natsume is Mr. Popular. "But, sensei. Natsume disappeared days before." Yuu said. "No—he's here." Narumi said. "Um—I won't be announcing Mr. Popular for now, but let's start the fireworks. It's 3 minutes before midnight."

If you, oh,
If you only knew,
What my heart goes through for you
I'm tryna break through,
don't you think it's worth the chance?
Let's leave the past,
Is that too much to ask?
And where do we stand? (Where do we stand?)

Everyone, went to the balcony, Mikan on the first row holding a fire stick to light the first fire rocket. But when the crowd tightened, Mikan noticed that she lost her left pumps. She looked behind her and saw that everyone was looking behind too. There was her shoe—and a guy in black tux. "Natsume?" Mikan mumbled.

Natsume who has a small smile walked in the aisle, took her shoe and approached her. He guided her smooth foot and inserted the gold pumps then he looked at her—with care in his eyes. Natsume then stood up and looked at her eyes. She could tell he was saying 'I miss you' by the redness of his eyes. Natsume then slid his arm on her slim hips and his other one on her arm and held her hand that was holding the fire stick.

3-2-1

Happy NEW YEAR!!!

Everyone screamed as Natsume whispered at Mikan "I love you—babe and happy birthday." Natsume pointed his index finger and lighted the fire stick which lighted the first fire work.

"Where did you go?" Mikan asked as they were dancing in the ballroom. Her head was on Natsume's shoulder. "On a mission."

"For a whole week?" Mikan asked. "Yeah. I went to England so that I can have my New Year with you and I can also greet you on your birthday. And perhaps give you what you're wearing right now." Mikan looked at him and looked at the jewelry that was now hanging on her neck.

It was a silver necklace with two lovely stones. A tangerine one and a crimson. "Hey—it's alice stones. How did the two stones intertwined?"

The pendant was in heart shaped. The stones were stretched but was circling each other but it was pretty. "I met an alchemist and I said if he can make something like that and he said yes so I told him to make that special for you." He said as he closed his eyes as he hug her close. "It's gorgeous, beau. Our alice stones intertwine just like—" Mikan said as Natsume kissed her foe head.

"You." Natsume continued. Mikan smiled and said "And me." As the raven kissed her on her lips.

God how he missed her.

Happy Birthday Mikan!!!
